The accurate determination of protein concentration is a foundational requirement in molecular biology, proteomics, and clinical diagnostics. Choosing the most appropriate protein quantification ...
At the University of Oxford, scientists have developed a nanopore technology that can identify three different post-translational modifications (PTMs) in individual proteins, even deep within long ...
The new cell-free protein crystallization (CFPC) method includes direct protein crystallization and is a major headway in the field of structural biology. This technique will enable the analysis of ...
Understanding the structure of proteins is critical for demystifying their functions and developing drugs that target them. To that end, a team of researchers at Brown University has developed a way ...
Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a biochemical technique that captures fleeting ...
A team of US researchers has gained new insights into how large protein molecules consistently fold themselves into useful shapes. Using a new approach to fluorescence microscopy, Hoi Sung Chung and ...
Proteins are made of chains of amino acids, and a basic tenet of biology is that the sequence of amino acids determines how a protein folds into a 3D shape which, in turn, dictates the protein’s ...
The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...
